The excellent filming properties of the organic polymeric friction modifiers boosts the durability of a metal by increasing its potential to withstand wear. This factor makes it ideal for the automotive industry. In addition to this, organic polymer friction modifiers reduce the coefficient of friction to levels which conventional friction modifiers cannot reach. 

The Asia Pacific Accounts for a Significant Share in the Market

The friction modifiers market in the Asia Pacific is driven by the growing demand for lubricants, owing to the thriving automotive industry in India, China, Japan and South Korea. The availability of major friction modifier brands in the region, coupled with the stable cost of raw materials is likely to augment the market in the forecast period. The market in the region will further be aided by the growing domestic demand for passenger and commercial vehicles in India and China. 

Friction Modifiers: Industry Definition and Segmentation

Friction modifiers are polar molecules which are added to lubricants in order to reduce the coefficient of friction and improve lubricity. These molecules have a high energy affinity for metal surfaces and are known to increase the energy efficiency.
